Donald J
Trump is the most ignorant, incompetent, unethical, and mentally unstable
President in at least my lifetime, and most probably the history of the United
States.The Trump presidency is the
single biggest threat to the future of America and the world in existence
today.He must be removed from office immediately before he does any more
damage.

Trump is
mentally incompetent.It is obvious that
he suffers acutely from Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Antisocial
Personality Disorder, also known as Sociopathy.I invite you to research these mental disorders online and view their
descriptions in the context of Trump’s words and actions.You will find they fit Trump to a T.

From a
practical point of view, Trump is also the biggest threat to the future of the
Republican Party.The Republican Party
does not need Trump.They currently hold
a majority in both the House and the Senate and, with Trump gone, will actually
control the White House, in fact and not just in name.The longer Trump remains in office the more
seats the Republican Party will lose in both houses of Congress as well as in
state houses and state legislatures in subsequent elections.

I urge the
leaders of the Republican Party to work together to remove Trump from office
for mental incompetence under Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to the
Constitution.It allows the Vice
President, together with a "majority
of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other
body as Congress may by law provide", to declare the President "unable to discharge the powers and duties of
his office" by submitting a written declaration to the President pro
tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.The Congress can then vote to remove the
President.

When Trump
is removed from office our national nightmare can end and America can truly be
great again.

“ . . . from the perspective of the
Republican leadership’s duty to their country, and indeed to the world that our
imperium bestrides, leaving a man this
witless and unmastered in an office with these powers and responsibilities is
an act of gross negligence, which no objective on the near-term political
horizon seems remotely significant enough to justify.”

"Today’s White House seems to stand for
nothing loftier than crony capitalism and the scapegoating of refugees, Muslims
and immigrants. To me, Trump “values” are primarily narcissism, nepotism and
nihilism.

And this is infectious: Cass
Sunstein of Harvard cites psychology research indicating that Trump has made it
more acceptable for Americans to embrace xenophobia. I wrote last year that
“Donald Trump is making America meaner,” prompting bigotry in rural Oregon
where I grew up, and around the country.

What the three men in Oregon understood, but
the White House doesn’t, is that in a healthy society, Islamophobia doesn’t
disparage just Muslims, racism doesn’t demean blacks alone, misogyny hurts more
than women, xenophobia insults more than immigrants. Rather, we are all
diminished, so we all have a stake in confronting bigotry."
